These goats increased throughout the Olympics\, growing to over 1000 animals and creating conflicts with native and endemic plant conservation efforts. The goats also increasingly became a nuisance for park visitors. \nBeginning in 2014\, ONP partnered with the U.S. Forest Service and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife –which had separately partnered with regional Tribal governments\, to develop a comprehensive plan moving mountain goats from non-native to native habitats. In Sept. of 2018\, 98 goats were translocated to preselected release sites in the Cascade Mountains. \nAttendance limited to 30\, please register soon.
